Mastering complex technologies to simply walk
Today our exo walks in clinical trials
In 2018 in Rehab Centers in Europe and overseas
Soon a personal version to accompany your activities of daily living, at home and in the city

During the 2017 clinical trials, persons with complete SCI have walked with our exo, without crutches.



I will probably never forget the emotion of these first steps...
Disruptive
Technology

3 technology disruptions to emulate natural walk
First usage of dynamic robotics algorithms in an exoskeleton. Successful technological bet to mimic human walk
First exo capable of replicating the motions of the human body. 12 actuated joints, commanded by super fast electronics
First intuitive control system. Miniaturized inertia units understand the user’s intent via her torso motion
This leading edge technology has one purpose : to allow mobility impaired persons to walk again, pass obstacles and lead an ordinary life again
Benefits for
You

Benefits in autonomy and therapeutics
We work with physicians for patients
Medical
Enabling medical personnel to propose better treatments
Managed by expert physicians and physiotherapists, clinical trials will be researching therapeutical benefits of natural walk for digestion, cardiovascular condition, bone density and neuromuscular mobilization
Autonomy
Walking, hands-free
And standing up, turning, sitting down, soon walking over curbs, stairways, getting around at home, going to work, stepping into a vehicle
Allowing you to do the activities of daily living
Developed for
Many pathologies
Our current technology is adapted to wheelchair users with a good control of their torso. We started trials with SCI patients
We will soon accommodate some neuromuscular diseases and hemiplegia
Validating technology through
Clinical trials
With expert physicians and physiotherapists to validate the exo’s safety and performances and research benefits for patient health
The first trials were completed in 2017 with SCI patients, near Paris and in the Rehabilitation Center of Pionsat, in the center of France.
Their aim was to validate the exo’s ability to stand up, walk and sit down with its user safely, autonomously, without crutches
In 2018, several clinical studies are planned in large healthcare centers specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation
They will contribute to improving performances and researching the impacts on patient health
We owe a lot to Francoise, Jeremy, Bernard, Sandy, Arnaud, Virginie, Floriane, Olivier, Thierry and Alain, our first trial patients, for the enthusiasm and the energy they give us !

1st clinical trials February 2017I am tall, finally...
We are the center of an
Ecosystem
We work with physicans and scientists. We develop with our users

Medical Committee
Validating our medical approach
Recognized experts in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) supervise our development
Three prominent physical medicine and readaptation specialists, Professors Isabelle Laffont, Alain Yelnik and François Boyer, have agreed to head our scientific committee
We work with many physicians and physios specialized in PMR, neurology and orthopaedics

Robotics ecosystem
Increasing our technological advantage
We leverage the work of the best academics in dynamic walk robotics
Professor Nicolas Petit, director of the Centre Automatique et Systèmes at MinesParisTech, chairs our Robotics Scientifc Committe since our first steps
We work closely with Professors Jesse Grizzle at University of Michigan and Aaron Ames in Caltech

User Committee
Putting technology at the service of users
Dorine Bourneton, aerobatics champion and with SCI and Jonathan Farjon, scientist in Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique with a CMT disease, head our User Committee
They are joined by our clinical trials test patients

Patient associations
Better understanding needs
Patient associations help us adapt our technology to user needs
We work with Association Française contre les Myopathies, CMT-France, Amis FSH and other organizations
